Richard Fernandez: A gift horse in the mouth
PJ Media's Wretchard assesses the Syrian agreement and has found it wanting:From TFA: It seems given that Obama's "breakthrough" will result in Assad remaining in power. Without new patrons the rebels are doomed to dwindle and die, unless they switch to the winning side or convince Saudi Arabia and Turkey to up the ante. Worse, Israel may soon be asked to disarm itself of WMDs just like Syria is supposedly doing -- except Israel will be expected to do it for real where Syria need merely pretend. It's the power of bad example: I'll be bad while you set the example. Hezbollah will once again be the power in Lebanon, where its sword of revenge will come out of the scabbard against those who opposed it just when it seemed ready to fall. Most importantly, Iran's road to becoming a regional nuclear power has become a superhighway: next stop for Teheran -- the Atomic Bomb. Posted by: badanov 2013-09-15 |
